  1. Can anyone help me identify the part number for an 2013 Octavia Estate rear boot trim (plastic that covers the part of the boot where the pull-down is). I have a friend that has somehow managed to knock a hole in it and i'm struggling to get the right part number.
  2. Apologies to everyone that has been trying to use the guide I produced. VW have taken all instances of the portal down. Skoda's POI portal has been broken for some time. After a bit of research i've come across this on the Seat forums: https://forums.seatcupra.net/index.php?threads/uploading-speed-camera-pois-tail-of-woe-vw-pulled-the-update-site-again.444799/ I haven't had time to test; but it appears that this works. Once I get chance to play with this, i'll update the guide accordingly. For now, if anyone is looking for a solution to the POI loading problem, this is (currently) your best shot.
  3. Try here: http://www.volkswagen-nav-companion.de/mib/ppoi/intro.jsf
  4. CarPro PERL; it's an SiO2 based fluid that can be used on tires and plastics (great for engine bay dressing). It leaves a kind of satin finish on the tires and lasts at least a week in damp conditions.
  5. Yeah I figured it was to do with emissions. Shame my spare litre in the boot is a different viscosity :/
  6. Just had my diesel vRS in for first variable service, and noticed on service sheet that the oil used was shell helix 0w30; now the manual states 5w30. Spoke to dealers and they informed me that Skoda have changed the spec. I can't find any info on this and figured this was best place to ask.
  7. Forgot about that; used a generic card to load some POIs... Yeah they use a custom cert embedded in the firmware to decode the data for the stereo. Ignore suggestion 1
  8. Here's a couple of things you can try: Use any 32Gb SD card (or a 16Gb if you have one); just use the 'quick format' option in Windows and it should be good to go. Redownload the map files from the Skoda Portal (could be corrupt data you downloaded; unlikely but possible) Check the stereo without any SD card inserted functions properly.
  9. Updated guide with fixed URL can be found here; apologies for the multiple posts, I seem unable to delete the original uploads custom-poi-loading-20171017.pdf
  10. There's a typo in the URL, I'll get it updated shortly, in the meantime use this link to get to the VW portal: http://webspecial.volkswagen.de/infotainment/de/de/manuals/nav-companion.html?d1=discoverpro&type=poiNavigation

  12. Thanks l4wrence; updated the URL in the guide: https://www.briskoda.net/forums/topic/432677-loading-pois-on-amundsen-stereo/?do=findComment&comment=4932693
  13. updated guide can be found here! custom-poi-loading-20170920.pdf
  14. Thanks norsko; I removed the original badge a while back and the part number was as mentioned above. I bought some badges off eBay (official, but for a yeti) but they don't have the curve to them like the originals.
  15. Does anyone know the rear emblem badge part number? I know the front is 3V0 853 621A but was unsure whether the rear is identical or not. Cheers,
